Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Content:
Introduction to R and R graphics (ggplot2), Wright Fisher simulations, Coalescent simulations, application of neutrality tests, basic handling of NGS data, simulations of quantitative traits

Pre-requisites: basic knowledge of R and of the UNIX command line

Goals:
Students become familiar with the R programming language and commonly used tools in population genetics. They are able to simulate neutral and selective processes in populations. They can apply widely used neutrality tests to genome scale data.
